Blog & StoriesIn a remote Philippine village, a young girl’s feverish sickness quietly warps into a blood-chilling curse, mutating her body and mind into something monstrous. As her family grapples with denial and faith, the infection spreads, turning the countryside into a nightmare landscape of hunger and disease. Richard Somes crafts a slow-burn folk horror that blurs the line between viral outbreak and ancient folklore, where every shadow hides a dreadful transformation. With atmospheric dread and a haunting score, Yanggaw is a visceral, unsettling journey into the heart of familial terror and supernatural decay.

IslandTerror – 7/10
“I loved how the movie took its time building the creepy atmosphere, the remote village setting really added to the dread. The creature design was original and kept me on edge, though the pacing dragged a bit in the middle. Still, it's a solid folk horror that deserves more attention.”
GoreHound23 – 6/10
“For me, the film had a compelling premise but the execution felt uneven. The practical effects were impressive, but the scares were more psychological than visceral, which was a letdown. Also, some subplots were left unresolved, which left me feeling a bit unsatisfied. Not bad, but not a classic.”
SilentScare – 8/10
“I was genuinely impressed by the sense of isolation and creeping dread throughout. The acting was convincing, especially the father's struggle between love and fear. It's a slow burn, but if you're patient, the payoff is chilling. I'd recommend it to fans of atmospheric horror.”
NightOwlMovieBuff – 5/10
“I think the concept had potential, but the execution just didn't hook me. The pacing was too slow for my taste, and the monster reveal was predictable. I appreciated the cultural angle, but overall it felt like something I've seen before. It's a decent watch for completionists, but not a must-see.”
